About
Thank you for visiting my site, I am an artist living and working in South London. I draw and paint my experience of the world through a combination of observation, memory, imagination and dreams.
Statement and a few words about process
My practice includes drawing, painting and some hand printing. I draw frequently, particularly enjoying the process of sketching the landscape outdoors, where I take inspiration from and engage with the dynamic natural surroundings. In the studio, I transform these observational drawings, blending the memories of my experiences with imaginative elements. I am interested in spaces where edges meet and feel drawn to the spiritual and Celtic cultures of Ireland and Cornwall.
A brief biography
I initially trained as a Graphic Designer and illustrator (BA Hons, University of West of England) and for many years juggled my art practice alongside working in publishing and raising a family. I exhibit regularly in local South London venues (see below). In 2025, I had the honour of exhibiting a drawing with the Pastel Society at London’s Mall Galleries plus my first solo show ‘A Gap in the Clouds’ at Gallery White Box in Blackheath, London. I have my second solo show planned at White Box in 2027.
So far in 2026, I have co-curated and exhibited in “Greenwich En Plein Air" at Gallery White Box which showcased work made by the Blackheath Art Society en plein air group, an outdoor sketching group I set up in 2023. I am delighted to report that the exhibition was a success and a repeat en plein air show at the gallery is planned for early 2027. I am also looking forward to my next solo exhibition at the gallery in 2027..
When I'm not drawing or painting, I enjoy to travel and visit art museums all over the world. I am a keen yoga practitioner and like lifting weights. I am happiest by the sea.
